Passport/Visa Note

Visitors should be aware that if their passport (or airline
ticket) contains an Israeli stamp, or any evidence of an intended
visit to Israel, entry to Syria will be refused even if in
possession of a valid visa. Visas can only be issued on arrival to
those travelling as part of an organised group or if there is no
Syrian representation in their home country. Visas are not required
for any traveller whose passport states that he or she was born in:
Algeria, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania,
Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, United
Arab Emirates or Yemen. Passports with visas for Israel or airline
tickets showing Israel as a destination will be refused entry. All
travellers must hold return or onward tickets, all documents
required for the next destination and sufficient funds to cover
their stay. It is highly recommended that passports have at least
six months validity remaining after your intended date of departure
from your travel destination. Immigration officials often apply
different rules to those stated by travel agents and official
sources.

Note: Passport and visa requirements are liable to change at short notice. Travellers are advised to check their entry requirements with their embassy or consulate.
